On 5 April 2006, the Hague District Prosecutor's Office in the Netherlands released its final report confirming that former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia President Slobodan Milosevic died of natural cause of myocardial infarction, who died on 11 March at the United Nations prison in The Hague.
Slobodan Milosevic: Politician of the former Yugoslavia, President of the Republic of Serbia (1989-1997), President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) (1997-2000), founder and leader of the Socialist Party of Serbia (1992-2001). In 2000, Milosevic lost the presidential election to Vojislav Kostunica, leader of the opposition Serbian Democratic Party. He was arrested by his own country in April 2001. In 2002, Milosevic was extradited to the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague, netherlands, for trial.
According to foreign media sources, after Milosevic's death, he left a last word in his letter: "They poisoned me with drugs to treat leprosy." The Hague court will of course deny milosevic's "poisoning", believing that Milosevic's death from a myocardial infarction was a normal death. After Milosevic's death, Russia's request to participate in an autopsy was also rejected.
There are three reasons for Milosevic's death: poisoning: lawyers claim Milosevic suspected he was poisoned before his death; political murder: court witnesses say Milosevic's death was political; natural death: prison medical directors confirm that he died of natural causes; exclusion of suicide: a spokesman for the Hague court said he showed no signs of suicide, and defense counsel said Milosevic did not commit suicide. Thus, Milosevic's death remains a mystery to this day.
After Milosevic's death, his body was transported back to Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, for burial. According to foreign media records at the time, there were more than 50,000 people who buried Milosevic at that time. But Milosevic's wife and children, wanted for not being able to attend his funeral, have been taking refuge in Russia, and perhaps Serbia is their home that they will never return to.
Milosevic is a more controversial figure. In the eyes of the enemy and the Westerners, Milosevic was a demon and a criminal; in the eyes of his people and some supporters of the Former Yugoslavia, Milosevic was a hero.
A widely circulated biography of Milosevic on the mainland states that he "showed rare loyalty and firmness to the Yugoslav Communist Party" and that he was "the last Bolshevik in Europe to refuse to submit" and "a thorn in the side of the West." Some Chinese people often use the nickname "Lao Mi" to refer to Milosevic, and the state media often refers to him as "Comrade Milosevic". The Chinese people generally believe that Milosevic can resolutely resist nato pressure and safeguard the unity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and is a national hero of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
From Kosovo to Dayton, from Belgrade to The Hague, the Serb has not succumbed, whether facing NATO missiles or an international tribunal trial. Some people call Milosevic Tito "second", but he has no Tito ability at all, nor does he have the international opportunities of Tito's era. Milosevic's "Greater Serbian nationalism" led to the outbreak of the already sharp ethnic contradictions of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which led to war, sowing the seeds for the split of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which was originally forcibly united.
Milosevic's parents, born in 1941, are defined as both victims of tito's time — his father, Svetocha Milosevic, an Orthodox cleric who committed suicide in 1962; Milosevic's mother, a primary school teacher and Communist, also committed suicide in 1974. There is no explanation for the reason for her suicide, but that year was the beginning of the wave of purges of Serbian cadres by the Yugoslav Communist Party. Some Serbs say that Tito's policies have ruined their family, but Milosevic himself did not say so, but he mentioned many times that the misfortunes of the family had a major impact on his life path.
Mira Markovich
The misfortune of the family did not affect him from the time of Tito. In the political landscape that pays attention to the personnel background, Milosevic originally did not have the advantage of "birth". But he met a good wife, his wife, Mila Markovich, who was from a prominent background and knew the upper echelons of the party. And through her introduction, Milosevic was appreciated by Ivan Stanbolić. Ivan Stanbolić belonged to the "princelings" For more than 20 years, Milosevic followed StanBolić. Every time Milosevic was promoted, it was Stambolić who left the position after his promotion to Milosevic. (There is evidence that Milosevic sent people to "assassinate" Stan Bolić.)
In 1990, the Communist League of Serbia was transformed into the Socialist Party of Serbia, and in the multi-party elections held in December, he was elected the first President of the Republic of Serbia. In 1991, Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia as an independent sovereign state, and Milosevic had to declare the end of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the merger of Serbia and Montenegro into the Union of Yugoslavia.
Milosevic's "Greater Serbianism", which held that in the countries independent from the former Yugoslavia, the Serbs should have the right to national self-determination, and the Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina advocated the establishment of the Serb autonomous region, thus triggering the Croatian War and the Bosnian War, in which the parties accused each other of ethnic cleansing at the same time. In 1995 Croatia, with the support of Western countries, regained Serb-controlled areas.
In 1997, the Autonomous Province of Kosovo in Serbia, which established the "Kosovo Liberation Army" and wanted to become independent, attacked Serbian forces and killed Serbs. Two years later, NATO came forward and representatives of both sides negotiated near Paris. But both sides are reluctant to accept the proposal, one side wants independence, Serbia does not agree with Kosovo as an autonomous republic, and at the same time opposes the NATO garrison in Kosovo. The Serbian side refused to sign, and on March 24, NATO launched an air strike against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, 78 consecutive days of air strikes against Serbia (including 5 missiles fired at the mainland embassy, killing three journalists on the spot and injuring dozens of people), And Milosevic had to agree to agree to withdraw troops from Kosovo, the United Nations to take over Kosovo, and allow the multinational force to enter Kosovo.
The Bombed Chinese Embassy
On April 1, 2001, the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia arrested and imprisoned Milosevic on charges of corruption and abuse of power for the so-called $50 million aid provided by the United States. The pro-American president at the time, Kostunica, initially assured that Milosevic had been arrested on suspicion of violating domestic law and that it would be impossible to extradite him to The Hague for trial. However, just over two months later, the pro-Western government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia bypassed parliament and handed over the former president to the invaders by means of an executive order of the government, regardless of the danger of national disintegration.
On 12 February 2002, the ICTY formally heard the Milosevic case. He is charged with more than 60 crimes, including war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, including the siege of Sarajevo by Serb forces during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war and the killing of 8,000 Muslim civilians in the "safe zone" established by the United Nations in Srebrenica in 1995. But Milosevic has consistently denied all charges against him, declaring the ICTY an illegal institution (many countries do not recognize it, including China, the United States, Russia and other countries).
In 2016, 10 years after Milosevic's death, the Judgment of the International Tribunal at The Hague against Milosevic reads on page 1303: "The Tribunal does not consider that in this case, the parties concerned have produced sufficient evidence to prove that Milosevic had agreed to expel Bosnians and Croats from the area sought by the Serbs." Milosevic is not guilty. "It was all too late for serbia and Milosevic's family.
